B.3
Progress Report.
Provide a description of the PHA’s progress in meeting its Mission and Goals described in the PHA 5-Year and Annual Plan.
GHA main goal is to provide safe and affordable housing for eligible families through the Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher
programs. GHA is funded for helping the Foster Youth kids and now Veterans through the VASH program. The EHV program has been very
beneficial for many homeless and at risk of being homeless clients. EHV February numbers reflect the lease-up rate is 86%, the remaining 14%
have been issued a voucher and are searching for their home.
GHA continues to provide an improved living environment, by using the Capital Funds wisely and for the needs of the Public Housing
community. Listed in B4 are the many projects that have and still being tasked and completed for the well-being of the community.
GHA will partner with and educates landlords. The Community Services Department hired a Landlord Liaison to promote the Housing Choice
Voucher program and other housing programs in Glendale. Housing provided the “ A Good Place to Live” packet, handed out the Interested in
Becoming a Landlord flyer at community events, provided a sample HUD Housing Choice Voucher Landlord Newsletter to interested prospects at
community events. Two of these events were the GAIN event in October and the Stand Up for Vets event in September. GHA teamed up with the
Community Revitalization Division in paying an incentive fee to the Landlord for new tenants or tenants who received a non-renewal notice and
were forced to find another place to live.
GHA will work toward making Public Housing property as energy efficient and environmentally friendly as possible. GHA is constantly
searching for efficient measures for the residents in Public Housing. GHA purchases efficient lightbulbs (LED), filters/aerators for water faucets,
energy efficient appliances, electrical panel updates and recently upgrading all of the A/C units for the new federal standards.
GHA will ensure equal opportunity and affirmatively further fair housing. Community Legal Services (CLS) continues to be an advocate and
a resource for our clients. All staff of GHA are required to train on Fair Housing.

public housing development to an over-income family (a family whose annual income exceeds the limit for a low income family at the time of initial
occupancy), if all the following conditions are satisfied: (1) There are no eligible low income families on the PHA waiting list or applying for public
housing assistance when the unit is leased to an over-income family; (2) The PHA has publicized availability of the unit for rental to eligible low income
families, including publishing public notice of such availability in a newspaper of general circulation in the jurisdiction at least thirty days before offering the
unit to an over-income family; (3) The over-income family rents the unit on a month-to-month basis for a rent that is not less than the PHA's cost to operate
the unit; (4) The lease to the over-income family provides that the family agrees to vacate the unit when needed for rental to an eligible family; and (5) The
PHA gives the over-income family at least thirty days’ notice to vacate the unit when the unit is needed for rental to an eligible family. The PHA may
incorporate information on occupancy by over-income families into its PHA Plan statement of deconcentration and other policies that govern eligibility,
